    GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB Gain Control [Analog All] can be used for gain control for both the monochrome and color camera. [Analog All] (master gain) uses the sensor's internal gain function and consists of analog gain + digital gain. Analog gain is used for lower gain, and analog gain + digital gain is used when the gain becomes high.
  • Page 30: Lut (Lookup Table)

    Select the LUT channel to control. Green, Blue LUT Index GO-5100M-USB: 0 to 256 Select the LUT index to configure. Indexes represent the GO-5100C-USB: 0 to 256 possible pixel values captured on the sensor, from the lowest value (Index 0) to the highest (Index 256). For example, Index 0 represents a full black pixel and Index 256 represents a full white pixel.
  • Page 31: Gamma Function

    GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB Gamma Function The gamma function corrects the output signals from the camera beforehand (reverse correction), taking into consideration the light-emitting properties of the monitor display. As the light-emitting properties of the monitor are not linear, the entire image may be darker or the gradation in the dark areas may be less noticeable when camera outputs are displayed without processing.
  • Page 32: Automatic Detection

    If a lens is attached, use the lens cap as a shield, for example. Configure the threshold level for defective pixel detection. Specify the threshold value for the blemishes to be detected using the [JAI Custom Control Blemish] - [Blemish Detect Threshold] setting.
  • Page 33: Shading Correction

    GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB Shading Correction The shading correction is a function that corrects non-uniformity (i.e., shading) in the amount of light generated by the lens and lighting equipment. Using this function allows correction even if top, bottom, left, and right shading is not symmetrical in relation to the center of the screen (H, V).
  • Page 34: Color Shading (Go-5100C-Usb Only)

    [Shading Mode]. Binning Function The binning function (GO-5100M-USB only) allows you to combine the signal values of clusters of adjacent pixels to create improved virtual pixels. Using the function results in images with lower pixel resolution and higher sensitivity.
  • Page 35: Roi (Regional Scanning Function)

    GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB ROI (Regional Scanning Function) The ROI (region of interest) function allows you to output images by specifying the areas to scan. ROI Settings Specify the area to scan by specifying width, height, and horizontal/vertical offset values under [Image Format Control].
  • Page 36: Sensor Multi Vroi Function

    GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB Sensor Multi ROI Function Sensor Multi ROI is an ROI function that is configured and functions inside the sensor. You can configure up to 64 scanning regions (8 horizontal and 8 vertical). By skipping areas that are not specified as regions of interest when scanning a frame, the sensor's ROI function outputs the specified regions in a compressed state.
  • Page 37 GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB Configure the eight index settings (Index 1 to 8). The [OffsetH], [Width], [OffsetV], [Height], [Horizontal Enable], and [Vertical Enable] settings can be configured for each index. When you configure the [OffsetH], [Width], [OffsetV], and [Height] settings for an index and set [Horizontal Enable] or [Vertical Enable] to [True] for that index, the corresponding area is configured.
  • Page 38: Sequencer Function

    GO-5100M-USB / GO-5100C-USB Sequencer Function The Sequencer function lets you define up to 128 preset combinations of exposure time, gain, ROI, and other settings which can be stepped through each time a trigger is received. This is particularly useful for quickly capturing multiple exposures of objects under inspection to adjust for areas or components with significantly different levels of reflectance.
